The Latest: Christie, Trump meet; Christie prospects unclear

President-elect Donald Trump says New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is "a very talented man." But he is not saying if there is a place for him in his administration.

Christie was one of a parade of officials visiting Trump Sunday at his Bedminster, New Jersey golf club. Christie, a former candidate for president, was an early backer of Trump. But he was recently demoted as head of Trump's transition effort. It is now not clear how big a role Christie is now playing.

His diminished role came after two former aides were convicted in the George Washington Bridge political revenge plot. Christie denies wrongdoing and wasn't charged in the 2013 scandal.

Christie recently said he plans to finish his term, which ends in 2018.

Trump will be inaugurated as the nation's 45th president on Jan. 20. Most American schools finish the school year in the late spring or early summer.

Trump made the remark Sunday at his golf course in New Jersey as he was escorting Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach from a meeting. It was only one of a string of sessions Trump has been having with prospects for posts in his administration.
